I'm near Kizu Forest and the safari zone. I see a space top left of Kizu Forest with nowhere to go. Is there an event or something that is supposed to happen here that I'm missing?

Great hack by the way. Loving it :)
 
Really liking this Rom Hack so far. It is definitely a really fun one. However, there are certainly a few shortcomings that could easily make it stand with some of the best. I've so far beaten 7 Gyms and these are my observations. I hope if it isn't too difficult, these issues can be resolved in a future update.
- Experience gained isn't well handled. Given the Wild Pokemon diversity in the game, the lack of experience gained from battling them really discourages building a diverse team through your playthough. It is very likely that the 6 you initially started off with will be the ones to sustain you throughout even after battling all available trainers prior to each gym.
- The EXP flaw is even more obvious when advantageous pokemon for each gym are found near the town in which the gym is located. For example, scollipede before the Fairy Gym 2 in Ilex, Ground types in the Safari Zone before Olivine's electric Gym. However, these pokemon found are grossly under leveled and leveling them up for that gym is almost impossible given the paltry experience gained leaving them often 10-15 levels under the Gym leader's mons.
- Given the increased difficulty, it would be good to have an all party Gen6 style Exp Share system.
- Single Use TMs and the inability to change a Pokemon's nature further add to the difficulty in a way that feels unfair. Difficulty born out of purposeful handicaps as opposed to lack of strategy.
I am aware OG Emerald lacked reusable TMs, Exp Share or Nature Changing, however it was a fairly easy game for the most part.
I welcome a slightly increased difficulty with trainers having higher levels, however, it shouldn't come at the cost of negating the ability to level new pokemon to make challenges easier if you wanted to.

Overall, this is really one of the best hacks that i've played, I would recommend playing despite the aforementioned flaws. It's got a compelling narrative, a diverse variety of pokemon, interesting characters and great world building. Look forward to more updates for this.
 
That was the trick thank you!

First time playing a Rom and I'm hooked, thank you for the great game!

Just downloaded this recently and i have to say that his hack is great!

Only thing: why don't implement the team shared exp?

Thanks!
Not implemented because I didn't think about it. Looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to implement.

Can I get Ursaluna? If so, how? Thanks

Yes, you can evolve by using a Peat Block on Ursaring. You can find one in the Blackthorn side of Dark Cave, and another one in Victory Road.

How can I evolve my magmar and where can I get the item

The Magmarizer is at the Whirl Islands. It's outside the fiery portion of the cave where all of the fire types are.

Where i can get battle caps

The bottle caps are scattered around beaches in Johto, and I think there's one near the entrance of Mt. Mortar on the Ecruteak side.

Yes, something will appear there after you defeat the Cianwood gym leader.

No, it just evolves with high friendship at night.

Thank you.
A lot of the flaws you mentioned will be fixed in the v1.2 patch that I'm currently working on, and I'm considering implementing the Gen 6 style Exp Share. It doesn't look too difficult to add.
Check the bottom of the first post.

You'll have to re-battle all of the gym leaders first, starting with Falkner.
You should have got a call from him after defeating Gold.
 
Are the bottle cup menia the only that gives ex candies are those cups renuable
 
Hi there.

I'm enjoying the game thus far... except for one big issue. The level curve around Azalea Town is atrocious. If I'm about to go up against a gym leader with a Level 20 ace, why am I still having to grind on Pokemon under Level 10 most of the time? Most of the encounters in Ilex Forest are Levels 5-7, for goodness sake! The bare minimum here should be Level 8, with a max of Level 12/13. Right now, it's just frustrating to make the grade. I've been grinding for over an hour-and-a-half. Highly recommend changing this in 1.2; like, c'mon - it's been 20 years. Shouldn't Johto have a better level curve now? :P

Update: Alicia was frustrating in the extreme. I feel like her Sylveon's moveset is a bit egregious with Draining Kiss and Wish. Also, typo in Goldenrod. The clerk outside the Department Store says "Come in an shop around!" instead of "and shop around!"

I agree on this one. In a way, I feel like the difficulty is cheap because the developer resorted negating player tools and be straight up lucky in your early game team building, in order to cover the fact that he isn't that good in teambuilding Pokemon teams that could be considered actually hard and crafty and forces the player to strategize, as well as underutilizing the smartert AI that is present on pokeemerald's expansion code.
